#For my corpus, I will use two of the playlists that spotify made for me. The first playlist is “Jouw topnummers van 2020” and the second playlist is “Jouw topnummers van 2021”. What I find interesting about these playlists is that they are in some way representative of the music that I listened to in 2020 and 2021. I’m interested in seeing if there are specific things that have changed when it comes to my music taste. I think the tracks in these playlists are quite representative when it comes to the music that I listened to during those periods of time.

Some typical tracks from the 2020 playlist:

Why Why Why Why Why - Sault

Colors - Black Pumas

Exit music (for a film) - Radiohead

Blue World - Mac Miller

H.f.g.w (Canyons Drunken Rage) - Tame Impala

Some atypical tracks from the 2020 playlist:

Fam - sor

Daisy - Ashnikko

Fragments of stasimon of Orestes by Euripides - Petros Tabouris

Some typical tracks from the 2021 playlist:

Any Old Sunday - Chaka Khan

You Don’t Listen - General Elektriks

Famous - The Internet

Blackstar - David Bowie

Exit music (for a film) - Radiohead

Some atypical tracks from the 2021 playlist:

Temporary - Lauren Jauregui

SHUM - Go_A

Symphony No.5: IV. Adagietto. Sehr Langsam - Gustav Mahler

Week 2: I included two images. The first one is called mode vs key. I included it to show the ratio between the modes and minor major, for both of the years together. The other image I included is shows the relationship between energy and valence, for both 2020 and 2021. It also shows the minor/major relation.
